First day back

Today was the first day back to school with the kids. I was at work all week last week but it was just teachers and it was so nice to have the quiet time to get work done! My day started off very poorly - I didn't get to bed till after midnight, then Julianne woke up twice even though she's been STTN for a couple weeks now (knock on wood!) so of course I overslept this morning. Once I got to school things got a bit better. The first day, especially the morning, is always kind of quiet. The kids don't really know what to expect so they don't say much. I think I have a pretty good class except for one kid... he drove me insane. He kept throwing fits, crying, refusing to work, kicking his chair... I just wanted to pull my hair out! I told him if he acts like that tomorrow I'm calling his mom to come and get him, because I don't have time for all that. On his third fit, I said, "You know what, go ahead, throw a fit. I have a toddler at home. I'm used to them." And he stopped! It was actually pretty funny. It was also funny how no one ever mentioned this kid was a behavior problem, but the one kid that EVERYONE told me about was perfect today. Just goes to show... sometimes students and teachers just have personality clashes!
